Weekly update #2

A week after my previous posting, I'm still bedridden at my little room with not much to do. I went to the hospital for an x-ray but apart from that I haven't been out, nor do I want to because I feel unsafe walking on crutches with just one foot plus it's exhausting.

I have controlled my eating well in the last week, with one exception. I had my support worker arrive on Tuesday and do some things, I got him to buy ice cream, and I consumed it just that day, because my freezer section in my refrigerator isn't worth using. The ice cream was 8,000KJ, and in addition I ate other food as well. I am currently about 6,000KJ over my allowance which equates to about 160 grams of pure fat that I wouldn't have lost.

This is of course assuming all kilojoule calculations are perfect, which they are unlikely to be. I could be losing faster than expected, I could be losing slower. I really do think that I am losing something, but who knows how much it is. I can't weigh myself until my cast is taken off, 3 weeks from now.

I am experiencing hunger each day but that's 100% normal, and doesn't mean that I'm going to starve. I'll just hang on for the next 20 days and then see what I weigh. Fingers crossed that I've actually lost something.
